Your farm starts with 9 plots. Upgrade to unlock more plots and grow more crops simultaneously.
| Level | Name | Plots | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Starter Farm | 9 | Free | 3Γ3 grid. Where everyone begins. |
| 2 | Small Farm | 16 | 400g | 4Γ4 grid. First upgrade goal. |
| 3 | Medium Farm | 25 | 800g | 5Γ5 grid. Mid-game baseline. |
| 4 | Large Farm | 36 | 1,600g | 6Γ6 grid. Serious farming. |
| 5 | Grand Farm | 48 | 3,200g | Maximum size. 6Γ8 grid. |
Farm upgrades are the single best investment in the early game. More plots = more crops per cycle = exponentially more gold. Prioritize farm level 3 (25 plots) before spending on gear or vaults.
Forget to water and your crops will die. Here's exactly how drought works:
β’ Crops that go 2 days without water die (or 4 days with Drought Resistance upgrade)
β’ Dead crops occupy the plot β you must Remove Dead to clear them
β’ With Compost Bin, removing dead crops fertilizes the plot for +25% yield on the next harvest
β’ Fertilized state persists through planting and only clears after harvest
If you have Compost Bin, some advanced players intentionally let cheap crops die to get the +25% fertilizer bonus on expensive crops planted afterward. Plant Wheat β let it die β remove β plant Mango on the fertilized plot!
Three permanent upgrades that improve your farming efficiency.
Crops survive 4 days without water instead of the normal 2. Huge safety net for busy players who might forget to water.
Dead crops fertilize their plot when removed. The next crop harvested gets a +25% yield bonus. Fertilized state persists through planting.
Each level adds +10% harvest yield (up to +50% at max). Stacks with gear, skills, and compost bonuses.
Total cost for max Yield Boost: 15,500g
Tips from experienced farmers to maximize your gold-per-day.
Plant Wheat and Carrot exclusively. They grow fast (2β3 days) with cheap seeds. Focus all gold on farm upgrades β reach level 3 (25 plots) ASAP. Don't buy gear yet.
Transition to Potato and Strawberry for higher income. Buy Drought Resistance (1,000g) for safety. Start saving for your first skill point at day 15. Upgrade farm to level 4.
With Grand Farm (48 plots) + skill tree bonuses + gear, plant your specialization crops. Fruit builds go Mango/Grapes. Veggie builds go Sweet Potato/Corn. Stack yield boost + compost for max income.
If going The Juice skill tree: the economy bonuses reduce upgrade costs and boost vault interest. You can afford upgrades faster and earn more from vaults. Pairs well with any crop since The Juice boosts ALL crops at tier 6.
You can plant different crops on different plots! Use fast veggies on some plots for quick gold while slow fruits grow on others. This keeps income flowing while you wait for premium crops to mature.
